Cry of Land

My following poem was selected among the top 50 Best Patriotic English Poems in Overall Pakistan Patriotic Poetry Competition arranged by Pakistan Youth Alliance (PYA):

“CRY OF LAND” –Arsh Azim.

The world is endingWith no peace;The fires of cannonsAre rubbing my streetsDestroying my housesAnd finishing my homesBelonging to those innocentsWho only made theseJust to live with peace.The violence of evil creaturesIs causing the blood shedsThat is flowing in my streetsWhich makes the mortals weep.The hands are standingIn praying positionAnd the eyes are downWanting some restEven in destruction.The helping hands are aroundProviding them life which is sound,But who will abolish the evils?Who will restore the people?O people of the worldA time has comeTo show your beauty;The beauty of loveThe beauty of care.O people of the worldIt is a wake up callGet up and hold us allAs my people are cryingBut still, no pity at all…
